Filling the gap between high level programming and computer architecture, it provides students with a synthesis of these fields and a global understanding of how computers work. The course is organized around the learning of assembly languages (RISC and CISC).
The student will understand how a processor work, designing a RISC processor.

• Introduction. Processors. Computers. Programming model
• Instructions coding
• Symbolic representation
• Assembler directives
• Translation of control structures
• Representation of data structures
• Procedures and functions. Linking conventions and stack organization. Local variables.
• Design of RISC processor (using Finite State Machine that controls a data path to complete)
• Interrupts

Knowledge of a classical imperative language (Ada, C...) and of the basis of computer architecture
